... moreGood. Having use the Note II since January,I have to say this is a top notched device, with so much battery stamina to keep up with my heavy usage.

I never was into premium devices till Samsung came out with the first Note with a Wacom digitizer. I was stoked! And it was a deal it being free for a $47 monthly unlimited data plan.

The Note II was even a bigger jump in terms of battery stamina,S Pen software, RAM and even better processor in just over a year.

I'll be switching to the Note III for my contact renewal come November and hope all is good with the constant performance jump as expected.

I still remember people laughing when they saw the Note 1 in the shops. And look what happened - explosion of 5 inches+ screened devices.

I upgraded the same by connecting device to laptop and via Kies.

Please guys, is this Note2 really better than S4 as most people claim or are they just saying it because it's the one they own? Can somebody give me a real good answer, if you say yes it's better pls give your reason(s) and if you say S4 is actually better pls give your reasons too. Thanks

It is advised to factory reset your phone before update so new update starts with optimized settings (includes any customization and authorization). It is possible that some software may malfunction or you face battery drain issues.

If you are with wifi and have on backup by Google, once your factory reset and update your NoteII and connects to Wifi and Your Samsung/Google Account, your all the software will be downloaded as it is and you will feel good about it (although it's a heavy download process). Hope this helps you!
